Definitions
- the disclosure relates to ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer compositions and articles comprising the same.
- Pipes made from polyethylene may also need to meet the so-called PE80 or PE100 ratings (PE stands for polyethylene), which include the ability to withstand a minimum hydrostatic strength of 8 MPa (PE80) or 10 MPa (PE100) at 20°C for 50 years.
- PE80 or PE100 ratings PE stands for polyethylene
- Polyethylene resins can have relatively poor long term hydrostatic strength (LTHS) at high temperatures, which can render these materials unsuitable for use in piping that may be exposed to higher temperatures, such as, domestic or industry pipe systems.
- LTHS long term hydrostatic strength
- Other materials often used in domestic pipe systems include polybutylene, polypropylene, and cross-linked polyethylene ("PEX").
- Polybutylene can be a very expensive material, while polypropylene can have less hydrostatic resistance at higher temperatures.
- PEX is also not without its disadvantages.
- Crosslinking can generate significantly higher costs than in thermoplastic pipe extrusion without crosslinking, and crosslinking can be difficult to control to achieve the proper crosslinking levels.
- PEX pipes cannot be welded together to form a piping system.
- PE-RT raised temperature resistance
- slow crack growth resistance is also important property for pipe applications as slowly developed micro cracks can also cause pipe failure.
- Slow crack growth resistance may be measured by the Pennsylvania Notch Test, or PENT in short. In general, a minimum of 500 hours of PENT is desired for most pipe applications.
- polyethylene materials with a low molecular weight (high melt index) and a low melt viscosity are easier to process, especially, for small diameter domestic and industry pipes, where high line speed is preferred to increase production rate.
- these resins do not meet the hydrostatic strength requirements at both room and elevated temperatures, as well as slow crack growth resistance.
- a very high molecular weight (low MI) and a bimodal molecular weight distribution may often be required.
- the resulting materials can be hard to process, especially for small diameter domestic and industry pipe, where high line speed is required.
- polyethylene pipe resins that have improved hydrostatic strength at higher temperatures and high pressure, as well as excellent slow crack growth resistance and improved processability.

- Test methods include the following:
- Samples for density measurements are prepared according to ASTM D 4703-10. Samples are pressed at 374°F (190°C), for five minutes, at 10,000 psi (68 MPa). The temperature is maintained at 374°F (190°C) for the above five minutes, and then the pressure is increased to 30,000 psi (207 MPa) for three minutes. This is followed by a one minute hold at 70°F (21°C) and 30,000 psi (207 MPa). Measurements are made within one hour of sample pressing using ASTM D792-08, Method B.
- Melt index (I 10 ) is measured in accordance with ASTM D 1238-10, Condition 190°C/10 kg, Method B, and is reported in grams eluted per 10 minutes.
- Zero-shear viscosities are obtained via creep tests that were conducted on an AR-G2 stress controlled rheometer (TA Instruments; New Castle, Del) using 25-mm-diameter parallel plates at 190° C.
- the rheometer oven is set to test temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to zeroing fixtures.
- a compression molded sample disk is inserted between the plates and allowed to come to equilibrium for 5 minutes.
- the upper plate is then lowered down to 50 ⁇ m above the desired testing gap (1.5 mm). Any superfluous material is trimmed off and the upper plate is lowered to the desired gap. Measurements are done under nitrogen purging at a flow rate of 5 L/min. Default creep time is set for 2 hours.
- a constant low shear stress of 20 Pa is applied for all of the samples to ensure that the steady state shear rate is low enough to be in the Newtonian region.
- the resulting steady state shear rates are in the range of 10 -3 to 10 -4 s -1 for the samples in this study.
- Steady state is determined by taking a linear regression for all the data in the last 10% time window of the plot of log (J(t)) vs. log(t), where J(t) is creep compliance and t is creep time. If the slope of the linear regression is greater than 0.97, steady state is considered to be reached, then the creep test is stopped. In all cases in this study the slope meets the criterion within 2 hours.
- the steady state shear rate is determined from the slope of the linear regression of all of the data points in the last 10% time window of the plot of ⁇ vs. t, where ⁇ is strain.
- the zero-shear viscosity is determined from the ratio of the applied stress to the steady state shear rate.
- a small amplitude oscillatory shear test is conducted before and after the creep test on the same specimen from 0.1 to 100 rad/s.
- the complex viscosity values of the two tests are compared. If the difference of the viscosity values at 0.1 rad/s is greater than 5%, the sample is considered to have degraded during the creep test, and the result is discarded.
- the ZSV value is obtained from creep test at 190°C via the method described above.
- the Mw-gpc value is determined by the conventional GPC method.
- the correlation between ZSV of linear polyethylene and its Mw-gpc was established based on a series of linear polyethylene reference materials.
- a description for the ZSV-Mw relationship can be found in the ANTEC proceeding: Karjala, Maria P.; Sammler, Robert L.; Mangnus, Marc A.; Hazlitt, Lonnie G.; Johnson, Mark S.; Hagen, Charles M., Jr.; Huang, Joe W. L.; Reichek, Kenneth N. Detection of low levels of long-chain branching in polyolefins. Annual Technical Conference - Society of Plastics Engineers (2008), 66th 887-891 .
- Resins are compression-molded into "3 mm thick x 25 mm” circular plaques at 350°F (°C for consistency), for five minutes, under 1500 psi pressure, in air. The sample is then taken out of the press, and placed on a counter to cool.
- a constant temperature frequency sweep is performed using a TA Instruments "Advanced Rheometric Expansion System (ARES)," equipped with 25 mm (diameter) parallel plates, under a nitrogen purge.
- the sample is placed on the plate, and allowed to melt for five minutes at 190°C.
- the plates are then closed to a gap of "2 mm,” the sample trimmed (extra sample that extends beyond the circumference of the "25 mm diameter” plate is removed), and then the test is started.
- the method has an additional five minute delay built in, to allow for temperature equilibrium.
- the experiments are performed at 190°C over a frequency range of 0.1 to 100 rad/s.
- the strain amplitude is constant at 10%.
- Samples are analyzed with a high-temperature GPC instrument (model PL220, Polymer Laboratories, Inc., now Agilent).
- GPC measurements are used to determine the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer and to determine the molecular weight distribution, MWD or Mw/Mn.
- Mw weight-average molecular weight
- Mn number-average molecular weight
- Mz The z-average molecular weight, Mz, is also determined.
- the method employs the well-known universal calibration method based on the concept of hydrodynamic volume, and the calibration is performed using narrow polystyrene (PS) standards along with three 10 ⁇ m Mixed-B columns (Polymer Laboratories Inc, now Agilent) operating at a system temperature of 140°C.
- PS narrow polystyrene
- Polyethylene samples are prepared at a 2 mg/mL concentration in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene solvent by slowly stirring the sample in TCB at 160 °C for 4 hours.
- the flow rate is 1.0 mL/min, and the injection size is 200 microliters.
- the chromatographic solvent and the sample preparation solvent contained 200 ppm of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Both solvent sources are nitrogen sparged.
- BHT butylated hydroxytoluene
- Both solvent sources are nitrogen sparged.
- the molecular weights of the polystyrene standards are converted to polyethylene equivalent molecular weights using a correction factor of 0.4316 as discussed in the literature ( T. Williams and I.M. Ward, Polym. Letters, 6, 621-624 (1968 )).
- a third order polynomial is used to fit the respective polyethylene-equivalent molecular weights of standards to the observed elution volumes.
- the PENT test a slow crack growth resistance measurement test, is determined according to ASTM F1473-13 at 80°C and 2.4 MPa applied stress.
- Pipes were produced on a Cincinnati Proton extruder (45 mm barrier screw of 28 L/D), equipped with a Graewe V63-2-6 cooling unit. Pipes were extruded with a temperature profile of 210-220-230-240°C in the four zones of the extruder, and at 245°C at all four die zones.
- the pipes produced via the above method have an outer diameter of 20 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm.
